Ice Regime and Ice Transport in Nares Strait

ABSTRACT. In order to assess the part played by ice export through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in the heat budget of the Arctic Ocean, one of the factors that must be known is the length of time per year that the channels are sealed by fast ice. To establish this for Nares Strait a series of fli...
